We first met Robison in brother Augusten Burroughs's eye-popping Running with Scissors. Then Robison himself spoke up, detailing his life with Asperger's syndrome in the best-selling Look Me in the Eye. Here he uses examples from his own life to advise Aspergians and their parents—including his "Mom Army" of over 10,000 online followers—and also shares recent scientific research. There's an audience; this syndrome is increasingly in the news.
